3 Low-Rated Stocks With Big Price-Target GapsWritten by Jessica Mitacek. Published: 4/7/2026. 
Key Points
- Despite Reduce or Strong Sell ratings, Paramount Skydance, Joby Aviation, and Lucid Group carry average price targets that suggest sizable potential upside, highlighting a sharp divide between current sentiment and long-term valuation.
- High short interest is being countered by resilient institutional ownership, with fundamental drivers pointing to better performances ahead.
- However, potential reversals hinge on specific milestones, including post-merger stabilization for Paramount Skydance, FAA certification for Joby, and a sub-$50k vehicle platform for Lucid.

Wall Street is many things, but it is not a monolith. Despite images of a cohesive unit of elite investment bankers, a more accurate portrayal is a highly fragmented system where competing strategies—traders and investors, bulls and bears, conventionalists and contrarians—vie for capital.
For a moment…
Forget about Trump’s ties to Israel.
Forget about reports of Iran’s nuclear program.
Because my research has led me to believe we’re risking World War 3 with Iran for a completely different reason. Click here to find out what it is.
Given that fragmentation, it’s common for analysts to issue conflicting viewpoints. That helps explain why many stocks carry Reduce, Sell, or Strong Sell ratings even though their average price targets imply substantial upside. MarketBeat tracks this dynamic and provides investors with a list of 100 companies that received the lowest average ratings from equities research analysts over the past 12 months. The list also shows consensus price targets and, importantly, the implied upside. The lowest possible rating score is 1.00, which indicates a 100% Sell consensus. Yet the three stocks below, despite low ratings, show considerable upside potential — suggesting the risk-reward may favor patient shareholders. Paramount Skydance: A Deal-Driven Rebound After a Tough YearWith a consensus rating score of 1.47, it is clear that Paramount Skydance (NASDAQ: PSKY) has had a difficult year. The communication services stock has been in the headlines for months as it competed with Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) for Warner Bros. Discovery, ultimately winning a deal reported at about $111 billion. Some analysts soured on the deal’s financial details, which compounded PSKY’s losses: the stock sits roughly 50% below its 52‑week high. Shares have recently begun to rebound, gaining more than 12% over the past five trading sessions. Although 15 analysts covering the company assign a consensus Strong Sell rating, the average 12‑month price target of $12.85 implies more than 30% upside from the current price. Paramount may remain volatile in the near term — the stock has a beta of 1.37 and short interest is notable at 6.92% of the float. Institutional ownership is strong at 73%, with inflows of $2.9 billion over the past year far exceeding outflows of under $295 million. Joby Aviation: FAA Certification Progress Could Send Stock FlyingDespite generating nominal revenue from defense contracts, Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY) is still considered a pre‑revenue company. Its rapid‑scaling plans produced an elevated cash burn of nearly $500 million in 2025. The electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft maker continues to pursue Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval. Commercial operations are expected to begin late in 2026 after the company receives full FAA type certification, with revenues accelerating in 2027 and profitability projected between 2029 and 2031. Joby’s eVTOL aircraft aim to disrupt the aerospace industry. The company recently entered a strategic partnership with Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) that will allow users to reserve eVTOL rides through Uber’s app. After rallying more than 265% to a one‑year high in August 2025, JOBY has since fallen over 57%. The stock carries a consensus rating score of 1.89 — a Reduce rating from the nine analysts covering it. Still, the average 12‑month price target of $13.81 implies nearly 59% upside. Short interest is elevated at 13.73% of the float, but institutional investors have been net buyers, with inflows of $1.31 billion over the past year versus roughly $722 million in outflows. Lucid: Performance Has Been Anything but ElectricDown nearly 62% over the past year, luxury EV maker Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) holds a consensus rating score of 1.90. On April 6 alone, shares fell 6.33% after the company missed Q1 vehicle delivery estimates due to supplier disruptions. Those setbacks have magnified Lucid’s losses, which totaled $3.68 billion in 2025 — the largest since a net loss of $4.75 billion in 2021. Last year’s results were worsened by a negative gross margin of nearly 93%, contributing to a consensus Reduce rating and roughly 36.92% of the float being shorted. Over the past 12 months, institutional investors have reduced holdings by more than $43 billion while adding about $3.15 billion in inflows. Yet analysts still see upside: the average 12‑month price target of $13.14 implies nearly 41% potential gain. That optimism rests on Lucid’s planned launch of SUVs and a midsize platform this year with a sub‑$50,000 price point, and a robotaxi partnership with Uber that aims to deploy 20,000 or more Lucid vehicles equipped with Nuro Driver over the next six years. |
